Growing Up


As little kids

we didn’t care

 

Grades were nothing

crushes were fun

 

Only cried

when we fell 

 

Pressure was something

we never knew.

 

As we got older

All we did was care

 

Grades were everything

crushes ruined our lives

 

Crying a lot 

because it’s all too much.

 

Pressure is there, 

it’s all we know

 

We all wanted to grow up.
